I made this piece for a show I was attending in Qatar, where Falcons are a big part of the culture. I made it from a range of materials, with a hand carved wood body, wood and scrap metal wings, Steel legs and beak, and glass eyes. I added leather for the tether and hood. I put the falcon atop a scrap metal stand with a glass background to frame the piece.
Coloring on the wood was done with pyrography, and the metal colors were added with chemical treatments.
